Been Too Long
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
September, the leaves were
Falling red and gold and
I remember the way you pulled me closer
Nothing else existed
In the world we lived in
Hidden
We didn't see the storm was coming closer
That was then
But the time has come and gone
Nothing left but a broken story
We can't change, can't erase
Nothing that we can say now
Can get back what we gave up
That was then, this is now
It's been too long
December, when we were
Drifting like the falling snow
Around us but then a winter's chill blew through your heart
Mistakes we made didn't know what they'd change
The silence, was so hard
But I am stronger for it
That was then
But the time has come and gone
Nothing left but a broken story
We can't change, can't erase
Nothing that we can say now
Can get back what we gave up
That was then, this is now
It's been too long
September, the leaves are
Falling gold again
I remember the way we were
That was then
But the time has come and gone
Nothing left but a broken story
We can't change, can't erase
Nothing that we can say now
Can get back what we gave up
That was then, this is now
It's been too long
It's been too long
It's been too long
